Yeah I'm a flightless bird if the car is to wings and ability to drive is to fly :/
It's been like 1 n half week that i'm just 'trying' to learn driving...but still totally pathetic at it. So far as the roads are empty and without any turns or speed-breaker...i can drive fine :P ... but as soon as it comes to dealing with traffic signals or watching out for some jerks trying to overtake your 'snail-speed' vehicle from wrong side... I get totally panicked and would screw up totally. :/
Once I'm stopped at traffic signal... just can't move ahead without missing the green sign at least once, causing the traffic jam and getting my instructor totally mad :(
i hate cars...i hate driving... and i hateeeeeeeeee traffic signals :/
Towering over the local landscape the Locust Summit breaker of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal & Iron Company stands silent. The breaker, built in 1930, was capable of processing 15000 tons in a 24-hour period, and operated for a quarter century before being permanently shut down. The breaker stood for another 47 years until it was demolished in 2002. The complex housed many treasures, including CNJ 0-6-0 113, which worked at the facility from 1953 through 1960, and languished at Locust Summit for another 20 years before being moved to the Wilmington & Western.
Here the breaker is largely intact in 1992. The large shed to the right of the breaker houses dual rotary car dumpers. Why would a facility that loads outbound coal for shipment to customers need rotary car dumpers? The answer lies in the function of an anthracite breaker as a processing plant, and not necessarily as a part of a specific mine. The breaker separated rock from coal, and then sorted the coal into various sizes for shipment to market. The Reading delivered mine-run coal from various mines in the region, and then hauled an equivalent amount of finished product away from the breaker. This is one of only a few on-line industries that received and shipped the same commodity.
The breakers in Felixstowe Old Town I love this part of Felixstowe... The waves were quite rough and I nearly got soaked trying to get this shot but it was worth it :)

Hey hey, so I've still been working on that worldbuilding project in the background - turns out that it's an immense amount of work. Life just got in the way a lot unfortunately, and so I took a very long break from working on it. However, I still at least want to make some more guns for the setting before I jump back in, so...enjoy this one!
Traversing the wilds of Almeria is incredibly perilous. Not only does the land itself often seem to stand in your way, so to do less friendly fauna - be it man or beast. As such, it is common knowledge that some form of personal protection is essential. While the many schools of magic are all perfectly acceptable tools, there are plenty of others that opt for a more 'mundane' approach.
Heavy, crudely forged and without any inherent magical properties, the massive 'iron breaker' revolvers have become a widespread sight across the new world, wielded by those capable of taming the massive recoil, and who are known for dismissing the benefits of magic as unnecessary for effective combat. However, with that massive recoil comes massive per-shot stopping power - so much so that even some magical barriers struggle to withstand a shot from an iron breaker. While seen as a very crude option compared to magically imbued weapons by many who would espouse the benefits and necessity of magic, they have no doubt saved many a life, and taken just as many in return. Truly, one of the more fearsome weapons of the New Era.
